“TECNALIA accompanies companies in their transition to more sustainable business models, aligned with climate challenges”
CCUS technology for companies that want to spearhead decarbonisation efforts with real solutions
CCUS (CO₂ Capture, Usage and Storage) is a strategic solution to reduce net emissions and move towards climate neutrality especially in industrial sectors with difficult to abate emissions, such as cement, iron and steel and chemicals.
TECNALIA develops and implements technology that enables an efficient and cost-effective CO 2 management , and it accompanies companies on their path towards a low-carbon economy.
TECNALIA’s CCUS technological solutions:
- CO2 capture: TECNALIA develops adsorbent materials, membranes and stacks electrochemicals for the selective capture and separation of CO2, adapted to various gas streams and industrial conditions.
- CO2 usage: TECNALIA converts CO2 into a useful resource using technologies that transform it into high value-added products, such as synthetic fuels, polymers and building materials, thus contributing to the circular economy.
- CO2 mineralisation: TECNALIA uses accelerated carbonation technologies (ACT) to fix CO2 in alkaline industrial waste, generating building materials with low carbon footprint and helping to recover by-products.
- Safe transport and storage: TECNALIA designs and validates solutions for the safe transport and storage of CO₂, minimising the risk of corrosion and ensuring the integrity and durability of infrastructure under real-world conditions.
- Energy efficiency of CCUS processes: TECNALIA integrates HUT (Heat Upgrading Technologies) to harness waste heat in industrial processes, improving the efficiency of CCUS processes and reducing operating costs. A key challenge for industry in the 21st century.
Sustainable innovation in the industrial field
Climate change requires concrete solutions. CCUS technology addresses emissions that cannot be eliminated by electrification alone, opening up new opportunities for sustainable industrial innovation.
TECNALIA makes innovation available to companies in order to turn the challenge of CO2 into an opportunity for sustainable growth and long-term profitability.
